2607 Руб.Robbe-Grillet Alan, Ayme Marcel, Ferry Jean French Short Stories 1. Nouvelles Francaises
Originally written to entertain, move or chill, the eight short stories in this collection accompanied by parallel English translations now also help students gain deeper insights into French literature and life. Arranged in approximate order of difficulty, the range of stories is wide, from the stylized wit of Raymond Queneau to the beautifully written ambiguities of Philippe Sollers, from Pierre Gascar's exploration of childhood as a background to a tale of infidelity to Henri Thomas's gentle, ironic look at war. All make wonderful reads in either language.
2353 Руб.Vian Boris Le loup-garou et autres nouvelles
Cette nuit-la, Denis, le paisible loup du bois de Fausses-Reposes, s’apercoit avec stupeur qu’il s’est transforme en homme. C’est une nuit de pleine lune, et il va vivre dans Paris des aventures singulieres… Tout l’art de Boris Vian consiste a retourner ou subvertir toutes les conventions – celles de la societe, celles de la litterature –, que ce soit par l’humour, la farce ou le fantastique. Ainsi, il suffit qu’un mysterieux brouillard s’abatte sur une ville (L’amour est aveugle) et ses habitants, dans l’impossibilite de se voir ou de se reconnaitre, vont liberer leurs instincts sexuels au point de ne plus vouloir jamais recouvrer la vue… Mais le jeu avec l’imaginaire et le reel peut aussi deboucher sur des pulsions morbides ou homicides, ainsi qu’on le voit dans Les Chiens, le Desir et la Mort, signe «Vernon Sullivan». De la gouaille a l’absurde, de la feerie a la noirceur, le romancier de L’Ecume des jours joue ici sur toute la gamme, en treize recits brefs dedies a l’imprevisible.
1116 Руб.Vian Boris Je voudrais pas crever
Je voudrais pas crever, poeme d’un homme jeune qui se sait bientot condamne, donne son titre a un recueil de vingt-trois poemes publies apres la mort de Boris Vian (1920-1959), et dont l’edition de 1962 a marque, avec quelques romans et nouvelles, le debut de sa gloire posthume. N’etait-ce point d’ailleurs une sorte de «chanson du neant»? Lorsque Noel Arnaud offrit a son tour l’edition de 1972, il y joignit quelques lettres de Vian au College de ’Pataphysique, l’institution pour laquelle celui-ci s’enthousiasma, passion qui venait apres tant d’autres et qui avaient brule sa vie, telles que l’amour et l’amitie, le jazz, l’ecriture, la liberte…

2344 Руб.Vian Boris L'Herbe rouge
Dans son style etonnant qui mele la fantaisie et l'absurde avec l'emotion la plus poignante, Boris Vian nous raconte dans L'Herbe rouge les aventures d'un savant qui a invente une machine pouvant lui faire revivre son passe et ses angoisses. Sous le travesti de l'humour noir, ce sont ses propres inquietudes que met en scene Boris Vian, avec la frenesie d'invention burlesque qui l'a rendu celebre.
1193 Руб.Mansfield Katherine Wild Places. Selected Stories
A beautiful new hardback edition of Katherine Mansfield's most vivid and distinctive stories. Katherine Mansfield was the only writer Virginia Woolf envied. Mansfield transformed the short story genre with her work, creating stories miraculous in their intensity yet seemingly so simple. The shift of a heart, the beat of a moment, the changing of the light: in these stories emotional universes are contained within glimpses. Mansfield only lived to the age of 34 but in that time wrote stories true to her indomitable spirit. A hundred years on from her death, Mansfield's biographer, Claire Harman, has created this new selection to show us the master of the short story form in full flight.

333 Руб.Vian Boris L'Arrache-coeur
Voila un coin de campagne ou l'on a de droles de facons… La foire aux vieux, par exemple. Curieuse institution ! On sait bien aussi que tous les enfants peuvent voler comme des oiseaux des qu'ils etendent leurs bras- mais est-ce une raison suffisante pour les enfermer derriere des murs de plus en plus hauts, de plus en plus clos ? Le psychiatre Jacquemort se le demande - puis ne se le demande plus, car il a trop a faire avec la honte des autres, qui s'ecoule dans un bien sale ruisseau. Mais nous, qui restons sur la rive, nous voyons que Boris Vian decrit simplement notre monde. En prenant chacun de nos mots habituels au pied de la lettre, il nous revele le monstrueux pays qui nous entoure, celui de nos desirs les plus implacables, ou chaque amour cache une haine, ou les hommes revent de navires, et les femmes de murailles.
